Holy crap…
Holy crap…
Holy crap! I went out to get coffee and some guy (unfortunately) in line recognized that I was wearing a Pelagos, that has certainly never happened to me before. He said he used to work for Rolex.

I once had a guy run after me in a mall to compliment me on my Planet Ocean. Dude almost got himself shot.

Yeah, a guy stopped in the middle of the aisle boarding a flight to comment on my Speedy 125. Talk about obscure.

I had someone shout at me while crossing a street in LA “hey nice patina there on your.. rolex”.
Holy crap…
I had a chick say I had a nice ass at LAX. I think it was a chick - but, she kinda looked like hoppy?!

Re: Holy crap…
lol, not a watch but my ring. I think we were at a Walmart or target, can’t remember but we are at the car in parking lot loading up groceries and this guy pulls up and was like hey, is that the Kieth Richards skull ring?CGSshorty wrote:I once had a guy run after me in a mall to compliment me on my Planet Ocean.

I was so confused and taken aback and I just looked at him and was like what? How would you even see that? He was like I saw you in the store. I told him if he didn’t drive away, he wouldn’t like what happened next. Fucking creepy ass people.

That is so neat Mark, and then the fact that he worked for Rolex
was extra awesome too. I can count on less than one hand
the times that strangers have made compliments on my watches.
So it’s pretty fantastic to hear that someone was so cool to you
sir. Hey and maybe it will be a trend for you as more people
possibly are appreciating watches out there.
Can’t thank you enough for sharing !!!

The only real WIS moment I’ve had was at the airport, waiting for my flight in the newsstand. A guy complemented me on the Aquatimer I was wearing on the Velcro strap. Pleasant surprise

I agree people never ask me about my watches, only 2 maybe 3 times and one of my old work buddies who thinks he knows everything told me it’s crazy to spend thousands on a mechanical watch it’s not even accurate, my watch is quartz and accurate blah blah blah LOL.AtomicTom wrote: ↑Fri May 19, 2023 9:50 amThat is so neat Mark, and then the fact that he worked for Rolex

It’s funny right Mark?! And honestly it’s not that you or we want people
to fall over the fact that we are wearing a watch.
It honestly would just be cool to strike up a conversation with someone. But I
think it’s just that a lot of people don’t really know about watches. Or perhaps
they don’t understand them, or the hobby. But it’s really terrific that we do here
and really enjoy complimenting each other’s watches and just talking about them
in general.

The only public comment I've ever had was from a high school kid after a theater performance some friends' child was in (something something Spelling Bee). He liked the Berhardt Shark I had on.
